Grandma Vs. Auntie: Ultimate Haitian Cook-Off | National Geographic

04/25/25
Emmanuel Duverneau hosts a Haitian cook-off straight from his family’s Sunday traditions. His aunt is cooking goat with rice and fried plantains, while his grandma brings her signature macaroni au gratin—a cheesy, epis-infused dish that’s always a hit at family gatherings.

"Grandma Versus" is a cooking competition where grandmothers face off against family members in a recipe swap challenge. What do we learn about our past and our future when we cook together?
